Kansas City Project

Glen Hansen specializes in art inspired by the architecture of cities like Paris, Prague, and Venice. Now he turns his pencils and brushes on Kansas City for a show featuring over 30 drawings and a half-dozen paintings of local buildings and their architectural and decorative details.

“The cityscape of Kansas City is filled with iconic architecture from the late 19th century to the present day,” Hansen says. “My visual survey highlights historic architecture, but also makes reference to oddities like the TWA Building and Town Topic Hamburgers.”

Hansen is on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan.
